The arrest happened early Sunday afternoon after officers spotted the car along Alamo Drive and Davis Street. Vacaville police say the car had been stolen from a dealership in Southern California, so a high-risk stop was initiated by multiple officers.

Traffic was detoured for safety purposes and officers gave the driver inside commands.

Officers say the driver, identified as 33-year-old Fairfield resident Garrett Freitas, complied and was safely taken into custody.

Freitas has a felony warrant for his arrest out of SoCal on larceny and possession of a stolen vehicle charges, police soon found. He was booked into Solano County Jail.
